An Apple A Day

I had several apples that needed to be eaten and I needed to make a dessert to take to my Mom's for dinner. I looked for a simple recipe to make, but couldn't find one in any of my cookbooks. So I made one up :-)

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Whisk together. Add milk, vanilla, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix until all the ingredients are combined, but do not over mix.

Pour batter over apples carefully so you don't disturb the apples in the pan. Bake in center of oven for 35-40 minutes. Allow cake to cool for 10-15 in the pan. Invert cake onto platter to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temp.

NOTE: I only used the uniform apple slices for the bottom of the cake, and ate all the chunky parts :-) I used Red Delicious apples, but use what you have. Pears would be great too.

I started a new blog, http://rachescakes.wordpress.com, about my cake decorating. Since I have my real life info and I'm planning to tell my friends and family about it, I won't have it linked to my other blog. Since you are a foodie, I thought I'd let you know.

I had some aging granny smith apples and I didn't feel like turning them into the requisite batch of applesauce. Made this beautiful cake instead. My husband, (who actually hates caramel), put a HURTING on it; yea, we demolished it in two nights :-) Delicious!
